El cuerpo que es” es una pieza multidisciplinar, que construye su narrativa a través de diferentes lenguajes: textual, performativo, audiovisual y coreográfico.
Nace de un acontecimiento personal: una intervención quirúrgica que modifica la fisonomía de la intérprete. En el transcurrir, la veremos enfrentarse a su propio cuerpo, entrenar, intentar bailar o boxear, e incluso dialogar con otros cuatro cuerpos femeninos que le acompañan imaginariamente y que vivieron un proceso similar al suyo: las autoras y pensadoras Susan Sontag y Anne Boyer, Santa Águeda de Catania y su propia abuela Mila, que murió de la misma enfermedad porque no tuvo la fortaleza de contarlo por vergüenza.
This stage documentary is a proposal with which we want to make visible the intrusions on female bodies, while reflecting on how to build beauty from imperfection.
Ahondando en distintos lenguajes, pretendemos indagar en las luchas y resistencias de los cuerpos sometidos al ojo externo, la confrontación con los límites y la transformación o aceptación de ellos.
Engaging in a corporeal dialogue between the philosophy of boxing and the search for a perfect execution of classical dance, with imperfect bodies, conditioned by the gaze of others, we ask ourselves:
Is it possible to dance "The Death of the Swan" with a pierced body?
Can a crochet or a straight punch be dance?
Can movement and words strike the beholder effectively?
When a body ceases to be beautiful, can the image retained in time make up for what has been lost?
OBJECTIVES
- To engage in a contemporary dialogue on the historical representation of beauty and the female body, through classical painting and documentary photography.
- To create a scenic structure between the testimonial and the performative conference, maintaining a close dialogue between word and movement.
- To deepen the code that allows us to involve the audience in a metaphorical or literal way in the piece, as an active part of the work that will be developed on stage.
